Escambia Meetings Planned On Updated Zoning Ordinances

April 21, 2014

To reflect changes at the state level, Escambia County is in the process of rewriting its Land Development Code (LDC) to create an efficient and rational document to guide expansion within the county.

As part of this rewrite, the county will attempt to condense its current 36 zoning classifications into 14 new classifications, the first full overhaul of the zoning ordinance since its original adoption in 1996. Rewriting the LDC is intended to simplify and modernize the document to include mixed-use and “live, work play” zones, an increasingly popular option within the county, as the original zoning map was not parcel-based and created many split-zoned properties.

Monday, April 21 – Public Workshop: Zoning Consolidation, 5:30 p.m.
Tate High School, 1771 Tate Road, Cantonment

Tuesday, April 22 – Public Workshop:  Zoning Consolidation, 6 p.m.
Bellview Baptist Church Auditorium, 4750 Saufley Field Road, Pensacola

Wednesday, April 23 - Public Workshop:  Zoning Consolidation, 5:30 p.m.
Lexington Terrace Community Center, 700 South Old Corry Field Rd

Thursday, April 24 – Public Workshop:  Zoning Consolidation, 6 p.m.
Olive Baptist Church, Passmore Hall, 1836 East Olive Road, Pensacola

Previous meetings were held in Molino and at the Escambia County Central Office Complex. No changes will be made to zoning classifications on Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key, so no public meetings will be held in those areas.
